A year ago, project alumna Sarah Milligan was ensconced in the Folger Shakespeare Library reading room, poring over a heavily marginated copy of John Stow’s A Survey of London (1598 edition). Today, we publish her blog post reflecting on the experience of moving from EEBO to the material book. Sarah tentatively identifies the second marginator of the book as John Gibbon, a London-born herald who lived from 1629-1718. Sarah identifies with Gibbon. They both performed extensive mark-up of this text, Gibbon with a quill pen and Sarah with an XML editing program.
